“Holiness,
bless you,
Most Reverend Metropolitans,
Dear Fathers,
Dear Mayors,
Ladies & Gentlemen,
Dear friend and Comrade Dimitris Melissanidis,
Your Holiness, your blessing…
In and out of this world…
Within and beyond borders…
Your presence today in our football temple of Hagia Sophia is a source of inspiration of mind and soul for the present and future of our entire nation…
Because our Love, Passion, Courage, Soul and Inspiration have no borders.
My words will be few today… Humbly, with much respect…
Because I believe that actions must run creatively forward and words must be as much as is required to turn into actions what we dream and envision for our Basic Principles, our Values, our Religion, our Family, our Country, our Nation… our Environment…
Reasons for shadow works.
Your Holiness…
Will you allow me to inform you that since 1991 I have had your blessing without you knowing it…
Coincidentally, the Universe wanted when you were honored with the highest honor of Christianity in 1991 to be my beginning in the same year in my professional career…
I also had the great luck of God and the Universe to have a great Father who left us 2 years ago…
He is my man and Symbol who taught me to see and hear with the eyes and ears of the Universe and the Soul…
He nurtured me and taught me Pride, the Courage to respect and honor our Values, Principles and my Family, he taught me what humility means but at the same time what is the mental strength of a warrior and a rebel… To love selflessly and to I honor the simple things that are part of us… That are in the environment and surround us with such harmony and beauty…
What nature gives us and needs is our being… Our DNA, our five senses…
Simple things that we can have around us but ignore or underestimate against the great Creation of God and the Universe.
For all of us in the AEK family, the first color of nature that we adore is yellow…
After all, in autumn the colors of our nature are towards yellow, the color that every year reminds and honors the 1st of September, the day of our global prayer for the protection of Creation…
Why have we reached, Your Holiness, as in many other processes and aspects of our lives, to be in danger from ourselves… Because we all have Satan in us to some degree, our good brain and the bad part of it…
What makes the difference is our vision, our Basic Principles and Values that we put before these temptations and make our soul and spirit invincible…
Today, with your presence, it is the duty of all of us to unite… After all, the union is also a symbol of our group. Our legacy and heritage of untold value are our Symbols, Courage, Pride, Mental Strength, the deep Roots of Asia Minor and Byzantium and our inspiration for Creation after war or difficult times… Our unity…
To be inspired, to unite our souls, our minds, our perception of our highest good… The best tomorrow of our society and the new generations to come… With Solidarity in our society, especially to those who need us, with interest for Life, Environment and Creation.
We want your Love, your wish, your blessing to grow, to continue to fight and to honor our Values and Principles,… May our AEKARA grow and glorify all of us and together with it we fight every day with the symbolic Sword of Christianity for the great Victory…
Respect for creation, creating and evolving the divine gift of nature and the universe.
Because here today, in our football Temple, Hagia Sophia, beats the pulse of the Heart of AEK, of Asia Minor, of Byzantium, of Christianity and of the whole World…
I dream of a new Greece with the Legacy and Values left to us by the glorious Ancient Greece… Our country, the country of Light and culture… The navel of the Earth… The country of the Olympic flame and the Olympic Ideal…
May this Olympic flame and may God illuminate our souls with Selfless Love and the Ew Struggle.
AEK will unite us forever…
Long live AEK…
For ever and ever…”
